ABSTRACT:
In a portable humidor, a base includes a first interior area, and a cover includes a second interior area and is connected to the base via at least one hinge for movement between an open and a closed position. A permeable-shock-absorbing insert is positioned in the first interior area and includes a plurality of channels, each adapt to receive and isolate a cigar from adjacent cigars. A permeable-shock-absorbing liner is positioned in the second interior area and defines at least two cutouts for receiving a humidifier and a hygrometer. A seal is provided between the cover and the base, such that when the humidor is in the closed position it is vapor tight. At least two shelves can be positioned in the first interior area and are linked to each other and the humidor, such that when the cover is opened the two shelves move to an offset spaced apart position. A tray having a permeable-shock-absorbing tray insert defining a plurality of channels can be located on the shelves. In addition, the tray insets and the base insert each include a plurality of slots positioned adjacent to the channels each slot for retaining a strip of cedar to aid in aging the cigars stored in the humidor.
